Summary
DescriptionRatnagiri ei3-40.jpg
English: Seated Tara. Detail from a Bodhisattva statue. West of inner entrance of Monastery 1, Ratnagiri
This lovely Tara is a companion to the headless statue of Avalokiteshvara on site. Tara extends her right hand in
varada mudra, while a lotus flower curls above her left shoulder.
The features of the small statue seem typically
Southeast Asian; as a center of learning, Ratnagiri was visited
by Buddhist travelers from that region, and there were political and trading ties between Orissa and SE Asia
at this time.
